Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: Arch 110, Const 120, Arch 210, and Const 330 (can be taken concurrently). Building Information Modeling (BIM) means to create a virtual model of a building that can be used for quantity take offs, design decisions, interference checking, construction document generation, rendering and presentation, etc. You will use standard building components (families), modify standard components and create your own components. Each building component is represented by smart objects that "know how" to relate toone another and can contain extensive information about their own characteristics. You will create schedules (detailed lists) of components that can be used for quantity take offs and estimating. You will create rendered views of your model. Basic knowledge of 2D and 3D CAD, Excel spreadsheets, and construction methods is assumed. Learning is project focused with the various commands and features being learned as needed to complete the assignments. You will develop useful strategies for life-long learning that will enable you to approach new CAD versions or programs with confi dence. (Fall, Winter)
